Hezbollah’s Nasrallah meets with Hamas chief Haniyeh for Beirut talks on cooperation against Israel

Hezbollah terror chief Hassan Nasrallah meets with a delegation led by Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Beirut, days after rocket fire from southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

Lebanese media report the two terror chiefs discussed the “axis of resistance” and cooperation between their terror groups against Israel amid the escalation in violence.

Hezbollah has close ties with Hamas, which rules Gaza, and with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, which is also based in the coastal enclave.

The meeting came as tensions soared across the region, with barrages of rockets from Lebanon and Syria; tit-for-tat rocket fire from the Gaza Strip and Israeli strikes; clashes at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Temple Mount; deadly terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank; as well as a suspected Iranian drone launched from Syria earlier in the week.
